Resonance is the phenomenon whereby a sound played at just the right frequency, the resonant frequency, is amplified and manifested physically in neighboring objects. The greater the resonance, the greater the amplification. Deejays Space Byrd and Ishikawa sought to explore this phenomenon of making objects, particularly people, move through sound waves. Over a year in the making, the two worked together and gathered talents from across the globe - South Africa, Brazil, Portugal, United Kingdom, Mexico and Spain - to create the 'Spectral Resonance' experiment.

Their experiment starts with Contrast's (South Africa), 'Hear Myself Thinking', a slow introspective groover that helps open listeners' sonic receptors receive resonant frequencies. Once completed, it is time to experience 'Intensity' from the combined forces of the legendary Killer Buds (Brazil)and Corrosive System (Brazil). Things take a spooky turn and the transfer of sonic energy reaches a perfect resonance. What follows next is amplification, with the help of Infektion's (Portugal) epic, 'Legacy'. It is at this point that listeners start to feel the dancefloor zombie within taking over.

A moment of clarity is introduced through Systematic Audio's (UK) '300 Years'. A serious monster that helps explore the primal force that is sound. Not to be outdone, Phonix regular Omega Flight (UK) pushes this idea further with his 'Revenge of the Fallen' - a mechanical exploration on the power of resonance.

It is time to level up, an apt point to introduce the newest member of the Phonix Records family - Terrorbyte (South Africa) - and his explosive 'Legend27'. Sinister vibes laced with haunting melodies, sonic control of dancefloor zombies is complete. Ctrl Z3ta (Mexico) and Dj Meskita (Portugal) next take control to turn dancefloor zombies into unrelenting dancefloor robots with 'Robocop'. Phonix regulars Psycho System (Spain) further resonate with subjects to infuse them with their hypnotic 'Dark Essence'. Ctrl Z3ta's powerful remix of X-Avenger's (Mexico) 'Serial Killer' continues to play mayhem with listeners' sonic receptors.

As the experiment approaches its end, Space Byrd and Ishikawa begin to ease listeners with a dose of 'Gravity', a psychedelic beast from Singularity (South Africa). With the help of master Akros (Mexico), energy levels are carefully fine-tuned with the unrelentingly groovy 'Kronos'. Leading us to reflect on our findings, Aquedeux (South Africa) helps realize the 'Conscious Symbiotic Evolution', the realization that resonance is a journey of minds those of the resonators, and of the resonated.

The Phonix Records crew thank the featured artists, friends and fans for the continued patience and support. We are proud to continue our mission of showcasing proper twilight psytrance and share with the world our vision of the genre. Come experience with us - Spectral Resonance!
